# Questions to ask Grandma about school

Good questions about school are specific and easy to picture, and they ask for a story rather than a fact. Start with: What was your favorite subject? Who was your favorite teacher, and why? What did you eat for lunch at school? Then let Grandma's answers lead to the next question.

## How to ask so the stories keep coming

Ask one question per call, not ten. Follow up with "what happened next?" Write down the answers or record them (with permission): they're the start of a family story bank.
